It just so happens that I like Ruobing

‘Strange, why isn’t Xi Xue speaking?’ Lan Ruobing furrowed her brow, her panic mounting.

The last time Xi Xue had gone silent, an icy chill had permeated the air, signaling an impending storm.

Could she be angry again just because of a hesitation?

The mere thought of Xi Xue’s anger made Ruobing gasp; her heart couldn’t endure another episode like that.

Timidly, she was about to turn her head and agree to let Xi Xue just look, when a sudden fragrant breeze enveloped her completely.

‘This is…!’

Startled, before she could even utter a sound, a warm breath suddenly caressed her ear, followed by the soft, wet touch of Xi Xue’s lips nibbling her earlobe.

In that instant, Lan Ruobing felt a jolt of electricity shoot down her spine.

In the mirror before them, the reflection showed Xi Xue playfully nipping at her ear, her left arm wrapped securely around Lan Ruobing’s chest.

But what truly sent Ruobing into a state of sheer terror was Xi Xue’s right hand, which had already slipped beneath the layers of the maid skirt.

“Xi Xue! What are you doing!” Lan Ruobing bristled, her voice cracking as she struggled against the iron grip pinning her arms.

“Just checking,” Xi Xue murmured seductively, her curiosity and possessiveness overriding her usual restraint.

Her fingers traced upward, making contact with the incredibly soft, sensitive skin of Ruobing’s newly transformed body.

There was nothing there!

Ruobing had truly, completely become a girl!

Xi Xue’s eyes lit up with ecstatic realization, the confirmation thrilling her beyond measure.

But for Lan Ruobing, this was an unbearable violation.

“Let go! Let go quickly! I meowed! I meowed!!” Lan Ruobing gritted her teeth, tears of sheer humiliation and fright pricking her eyes as she twisted violently.

Seeing that she had confirmed what she wanted, and feeling Ruobing’s genuine distress, Xi Xue finally loosened her grip from below, her hold on Ruobing’s arms softening.

However, the moment she let go, Lan Ruobing’s frantic struggle caused her to stumble forward.

In a desperate bid to catch her, Xi Xue’s hand instinctively shot out and clenched tightly, accidentally grasping Ruobing’s sensitive chest with far too much force.

“Mmmph!!!” Lan Ruobing recoiled sharply, a pained whimper tearing from her throat.

Her hand, which had been raised to retaliate, froze in mid-air.

Overwhelmed by the physical pain, the terrifying intimacy, and the sheer vulnerability of her new body, her breaking point was reached.

She sank to the floor, her knees hitting the ground as she began to tremble uncontrollably.

‘Too mean! Xi Xue is too mean!!’

She hadn’t even fully accustomed herself to this body, yet she was touched so invasively and hurt so carelessly.

Tears streamed from her eyes, unstoppable and desperate.

“Big bad wolf, Xi Xue is a big bad wolf! Wuwuwu!” Lan Ruobing’s resentful, agonizing sobs pierced the small fitting room.

Xi Xue stared at her blankly, the thrill of her teasing abruptly shattering.

She mechanically lifted her right hand.

It was wet.

During Ruobing’s sheer panic and overwhelming physical stimulation, her chaotic emotions had triggered her innate water ability.

A massive, football-sized orb of pure, translucent water had materialized between them, born from Ruobing’s distress and the sensitive shock to her new female body.

Looking at the trembling, sobbing girl on the floor, Xi Xue’s mind violently snapped awake.

The predatory haze lifted, replaced by a crushing wave of guilt.

She realized what she had just done. She had treated Ruobing like a toy, completely ignoring her boundaries and the vulnerability of someone who had just undergone a massive life change.

“Ruobing…” Xi Xue dropped to her knees, reaching out tentatively, her heart aching with a sudden, sharp pain.

Lan Ruobing forcefully shrank away from her touch, sitting alone on the ground, crying in sheer agony.

‘It’s too much, absolutely too much! How could this happen!’

‘It was my first time being touched like that… I didn’t do anything wrong! Yet… wuwuwu…’

Tears streamed down her face as she cried freely, feeling utterly defenseless.

Unable to bear it, Xi Xue lunged forward and embraced Ruobing tightly, ignoring her weak struggles.

“I’m sorry… I didn’t mean to, I just… I’m sorry,” Xi Xue murmured, her own voice breaking as tears began to fall from her dark eyes.

“I did this because I like you… I’m sorry, I was wrong, I shouldn’t have done that. I was truly wrong…”

She held Ruobing securely, shedding silent tears.

Her apology wasn’t just for her reckless actions, but for the turmoil she had been avoiding within her own heart.

Knowing Ruobing had been Lan Nuo, her mind had been filled with confusion.

She had rationally analyzed the transformation, but she had never dared to question her true feelings.

She had been acting out, using physical teasing to mask her internal chaos.

Was it just the allure of a beautiful girl she desired, or was it Ruobing she liked?

As she held the sobbing girl, surrounded by the remnants of Ruobing’s magical distress, the answer became overwhelmingly clear.

Ruobing’s actions, her cuteness, her profound vulnerability—everything about her was inexplicably endearing.

Lan Nuo was merely a past life. The girl in her arms was entirely new, unique, and perfect just as she was.

In that moment of shared heartache, Xi Xue suddenly understood: she didn’t just want a plaything or a blood bag.

She loved Ruobing. She loved the girl she had become, fiercely and completely.
